What if you're too ill?
Thingamabob replied to KhaoYai's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
This is an important issue which will affect many of us sooner or later. There was a time when Immigration would come to your home if you were housebound for any reason but that service appears to have lapsed. -
What does working with a visa agent look like?
Thingamabob replied to ThLT's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
At 80 years old I have never used an agent for any purpose in over 40 years in Thailand. It's a matter of personal choice/circumstance. I can envisage a time before long when I may have to due to the inevitable effects of old age on mobility etc. -
Muang Tong Thani Closed
Thingamabob replied to 21cSchizoidMan's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
A simple change clearly explained by Ubon Joe to whom many thanks. -
Also, the only places in the world I have been mugged are London (once) and Manila (twice). And, as has already been said above, the food in the Philippines is awful. Best of luck.

2 Astra Zeneka followed by a Pfizer booster. No after effects from AZ or Pfizer. Not sure which of the available vaccines makes the best combination. I may try for a Moderna booster in due course for the sake of variety.

Utterly revolting, shameful behaviour imported from the USA. RIP young man. I pray you had some joy in your short life. -
PM Says He Will Decide if House Should Be Dissolved
Thingamabob replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
He's a little front man for those that rule us. He will do whatever he's told to do. -
90 days report less than 90 days
Thingamabob replied to BKKTRAVELER's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Ever since the 90 day legislation was introduced I have always reported in person without any problems. Far less hassle than any other method. -
Just renewed my UK passport here in Bangkok one year prior to expiration of my current passport. Straightforward and efficient, 6 weeks from start to finish. Later had info regarding my previous 1 year extension transferred to my new passport when appying for a further 1 year retirement extension.

Retirement Visa by the 65K thb method
Thingamabob replied to LatPhrao's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
....all of which goes to prove that a retirement extension backed by 800k deposited permanently in an account in your name only is the easiest way to go. -
Immigration going after over stayers?
Thingamabob replied to renegadeseal's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Go to immigration without delay and explain your situation (you may need a Thai speaker to accompany you unless you are competent in spoken Thai). Could be that in the light of current events Immigration will be helpful given you are a Russian passport holder. -
Tangmo’s Companion Admits to Causing Fatal Boat Lurch
Thingamabob replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
This is not remotely concerned with the victim. The 'investigation' is all about who gets what from 30m in compensation, plus the proceeds from an insurance pay-out. -
Teacher assaults primary student because he dared to ask a question
Thingamabob replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Sad and pathetic. Those who rule Thailand are determined to keep Thai children, and thereaafter Thai adults, as ignorant as possible. -
